Chapter 72 Relief

Wu Ming walked out of the barracks in a good mood, just in time to see the brothers from the engineer company sitting diagonally across the street in groups of three or four, basking in the sun lazily bragging, and after thinking about it, he shouted loudly: "Liu Siwei—"

"arrive--"

Liu Siwei, the engineer company commander, rushed over and stood at attention to salute.

Wu Ming pointed to the two piles of logs that had been cleared under the wall on the left side of the camp gate: "Urgent order: The engineer company rushed to the broken bridge 400 meters outside the north gate immediately, and repaired the bridge as quickly as possible! Liu Siwei, that small wooden bridge spans less than ten Mi, how long do you intend to complete the task?"

Liu Siwei replied loudly: "Please give us eight hours to complete the task!"

"No, no, it's too long! Five hours! I only give you five hours. The materials are all ready-made. The construction site is less than 450 meters away from here, and you have already rested for four days. If you can't do it, I will Transfer the Second Company of Engineers who are undergoing demolition training in Maoliangwu to replace you!" Wu Ming said sternly.

"Understood! Five hours, guarantee to complete the task!"

The short and stout Liu Siwei saluted, turned around and ran, taking out his whistle while running, blew the assembly whistle, and shouted at the Quanlian brothers who heard the sound, and more than a hundred engineers rushed into the barracks like flying, with their backs He got up his equipment and came out to line up. Amidst the yelling of the platoon leaders, he rushed to the two piles of wood on the left side of the camp gate, causing half of the barracks to shout and dust.

Two black Buick cars drove up slowly. When they saw a group of officers and soldiers running towards the gate of the camp carrying huge logs on their shoulders, they stopped far away for fear of being hurt.

Yu Jishi and Chen Shizheng in the back seat of the car stared at the uproarious scene in front of them, and looked at each other, feeling puzzled, not knowing what Wu Ming was up to.

The hundreds of officers and soldiers of the engineering company quickly left, and Wu Ming, who received the urgent report, had already led two subordinate officers and stood outside the camp gate.

The two cars drove directly in front of the saluting Wu Ming and others, turned around in the wide area of ​​the camp, and stopped in front of Wu Ming again.

Yu Jishi rolled down the window glass, pointed to the rear and said to Wu Ming, "Get in the car and follow me", then rolled up the window and ordered the driver to drive.

Wu Ming had no choice but to obey, walked to the car behind, and saw Wang Daohan smiling all over his face in the back seat, he could only shake his head, opened the car door and got in: "It's been a long time since Commissioner Wang, where are you going?"

"Haha! Don't you know it after you go?" Wang Daohan deliberately kept it a secret.

The car drove out of the east gate, and two Chevrolet pickup trucks parked outside the city quickly drove out, one in front and one behind, sandwiching the two cars in between.

The convoy headed east, reached a three-way intersection half a kilometer away, turned to the road on the left, and continued heading north. Wu Ming, who was full of doubts, finally guessed something, and turned to the fat-headed Wang Daohan rather displeasedly: " Why didn't you say hello beforehand?"

Wang Daohan smiled very happily: "How would I know? It was your Chief Yu who suddenly asked me for help, and that's why I knew I was going to Huanggu Town. You can't blame me."

Wu Ming sighed: "Of course I don't blame you, it's just that I should be mentally prepared. Last time I promised to go again to make up for the congratulatory gift. Now it's gone again, alas!"

Wang Daohan laughed loudly: "It's okay, it's okay, it's better than anything else when you're gone! Haha, I also prepared gifts in a hurry, and they're all in the back of the car. If you like it, just use it. Why are we so polite..."

Wu Ming shook his head and stopped talking, Wang Daohan said again: "It seems that your Chief Yu thinks highly of you, he is a close minister of the chairman, you have to seize the opportunity!"

"Officer Yu just took office in Zhejiang a few days ago. We have never met before. We don't know much about each other. We have very few contacts and they are all about military affairs. Where does it come from? You are doing well. You have a rosy face. Compared with Much younger when we last met."

Wu Ming was not polite to Wang Daohan. After all, we had shared the spoils together. In the past year, we have cooperated happily in the business of coal, tung oil, timber, medicine, etc. Wang Daohan was also very generous to him. It seems too hypocritical to be polite.

Wang Daohan was obviously very pleased with Wu Ming's attitude: "I didn't know that you were here to lead the army, but I'm so happy when I found out! To be honest, I feel more at ease when I see you. Don't think that Shangrao City has gathered 2 soldiers." There are so many troops, there are so many generals, they look majestic and murderous, but I know very well what these people are capable of, they are arrogant, but I have never seen anyone win a battle. In comparison..."

Wu Ming was very surprised, and immediately reminded: "You don't need to say that, it is easy to cause misunderstanding."

Wang Daohan smiled and said: "It's okay, we're just complaining, haha! Speaking of which, I have to thank you. If it wasn't for your generous help last time, I'm afraid I won't be able to sit firmly in this position. I don't know if this joint campaign will have a good result, I'm too scared to live in fear!"

Wu Ming sighed secretly, thought for a while and suggested kindly: "Actually, you don't need to worry. The security commanders of the two provinces and so many lieutenant generals are standing in front of you. It can be seen that the siege has reached another level. Regardless of the result No matter what, it won't have much impact on your official career..."

"As far as the current situation is concerned, the logistics you are in charge of has already done a very good job. As for other aspects, you don't need to pay too much attention. To put it bluntly, if this battle is won, all the credit must go to the generals of the army. If you lose the battle, there is some unlucky leader who will be the scapegoat, right?"

Wang Daohan immediately looked at Wu Ming with admiration, and praised: "You can see clearly! The blue is better than the blue, and the waves behind the Yangtze River push the waves ahead, and you will not deceive me!"

Wu Ming couldn't help laughing and said, "You can tell others this, I don't believe it. If you always think highly of me and take care of logistics and supply, I will be grateful."

Wang Daohan laughed happily: "It's a trivial matter, it's nothing to worry about, even if it's from different people, it won't lack your supplies!"

"By the way, there is something else I need your help with."

Seeing that he was approaching the entrance of Huanggu Town, Wu Ming quickly turned to Wang Daohan: "Mr. Yu and Mr. Chen are both from the first phase of Whampoa. They are the seniors of Brother Bo'an, the eldest son of the Chen family. I heard that they had a good relationship during their school days. Later, if Chief Yu and the others ask anything else, please keep covering up for me. I don't want to cause any other troubles because of this... So, after you keep seeing Mr. Chen, please speak kindly for me A few words."

The smile on Wang Daohan's face slowly disappeared, he let out a long sigh, and shook his head frequently: "This matter is troublesome, good luck tricks people... Well, I promise you."

The convoy stopped neatly on the drying ground at the entrance of the town, and soon attracted hundreds of villagers to watch.

Wu Ming tidied up his military appearance a bit, opened the door and got off the car, opened the car door for Wang Daohan very gracefully, and sent him to Yu Jishi's side, then mixed with a group of adjutants and secretaries who were holding rich gifts, and followed behind several big bosses step by step Go to the Chen Mansion.

At the gate of the Chen Mansion compound, Chen Jiyao, who had received the urgent report, stood at the gate to greet him with the support of the housekeeper.

Wang Daohan stepped forward and introduced enthusiastically. Yu Jishi and Chen Shi, who were wearing straight official uniforms, puffed up their chests and strode forward to salute at the same time.

After greeting each other, Yu Jishi and Chen Shizheng respectfully accompanied Chen Jiyao into the room. Chen Jiyao, who was emotional, did not see Wu Ming, and Wu Ming's worries did not disappear.
